Faith with a Mission

December 11, 2008
Dear Faith Community,

At Mesilla Valley Hospice, we are proud to serve the people of Dona Ana County and want our faith community to have a better understanding of what types of services we provide and how we can be a resource for anyone in your congregation.
Mesilla Valley Hospice is committed to supporting patients and their families by also supporting the persons who serve them: YOU, the professionals in our community. Like birth, death touches us on many levels; socially, spiritually, physically and psychologically. Whether you are directly involved in counseling, or have people in your congregation who find themselves coping with serious illness, you have the ability to touch these families profoundly during a vulnerable life passage. Our resources and website are available to assist you in your work. Not only are these materials for your church, but they also provide you with educational resources, training opportunities, and grief and bereavement counseling information. Here are a few key points about Mesilla Valley Hospice:

• Our services are for terminally ill patients
